On DRUNK HISTORY, originally a popular segment on humor website Funny or Die, comedians are given a prodigious amount of alcohol and then asked to relate a historical anecdote, such as the rivalry between John Wilkes Booth and his brother Edwin that led to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, or how former slave Oney Judge wrested her freedom from George Washington. While the drunken comedians are relating their tale, the viewer sees famous comic actors (from Will Farrell to Kristen Wiig) in costume reenacting the stories.
